Thank you to all who nominated or seconded my nomination! I appreciate your vote of confidence. I have really enjoyed working on the constituency issues and working closely with my ExCom colleagues and our Council reps. I will gladly accept the nomination and hope, if elected, to continue to improve on last year and make the Registrar Constituency an effective organization for our members.
Thank you,
Elana Broitman

Committee
Hello,
to get the ball moving I would like to nominate Elana Broitman as
chair of the Registrar Constituency.
I believe that she has done a admirable job over the last year and
that her devotion and experience should be carried on into another
term.
Best,
tom
